Hyoscyamine and Nortriptylin

Hi,

For the past 3 weeks I have been on Hyoscyamine and Nortriptylin and they have not been helping with my stomach/abdominal pain at all. Has anyone ever been on them? Did they work at all for pain? Also, does anyone know if they take more than 3 weeks to start working?

Have had Mild/Severe Stomach/Abdominal pain for the last 12 months. Made a few trips to the ER for the pain. Have had no other syptoms of Crohn's or IBS that are typical. All tests showed nothing. Hernia surgeon thought it was a hernia. Went for Hernia Surgery (for nothing). After recent Colonoscopy, GI thinks its most likely Crohns, becuase of inflamation he saw in small Intenstine (but not 100% convinced yet). Going for the Camera Pill test next month. Tried Pentasa and Entocort for 6 weeks; both of which havene't done much to reduce this chronic-never-ending pain. Saw a different GI last week for a second opinion and he thinks I might have IBS, so for the past week I've been taking Hyoscyamine, Nortriptylin and Citrucel (of which aren't helping as of yet)

I was on hyoscymine and it worked for a week or two.. now i take ultracet and it works pretty good...
